December 2025
- December marked a reversal in the flow trend for European Crypto ETPs, recording a return to aggregate inflows with + $193.5M, after November was the first month of outflows in eight months. The year ended on a confident note, with total net flows strongly positive at almost $3.4B in 2025.
- The inflows were again primarily driven by Bitcoin ETPs, which added $362.3M, as well as Ethereum ETPs at $29.8M. On the other hand, Basket ETPs and Solana ETPs led outflows at $86.5M and $71.2M, respectively.
- December saw a second consecutive decline in overall AUM for European Crypto ETP, with a drop of 5.5% to $13.6B. This decline was primarily due to significant price contractions across most underlying assets, which took precedence over the effect of the net inflows.
- 21shares retained the top spot across issuers, closing the year with a 27% AUM market share.
- ABTC, AETH, CBTC, ETHC, and ASOL held their positions as the 21shares ETPs with the tightest average bid/ask spreads, with ETHC and ASOL switching spots in the rankings. However, market volatility and thin holiday liquidity resulted in a widening of quotes across most products in the market. Despite this, 21shares Bitcoin ETP (ABTC) spread s stayed consistent below 5 bps, maintaining a leading position in Europe.
- Crypto ETPs demonstrated resilience throughout the month. Despite heightened volatility and December's challenging liquidity conditions, spreads for the Solana Staking ETP (ASOL) remained remarkably stable, holding steady at approximately 7.5 bps. This highlights the robust trading environment for these products, consolidating ASOL as the most liquid Solana ETP and investment vehicle of choice for investors.
- Total 21shares ADV saw a relatively substantial decline of approximately 37.2%, from $51.9M in November to $32.6M in December. Within the product suite, the Solana Staking ETP (ASOL) was the most actively traded ETP at $8.14M, followed by ABTC at $5.55M, AETH at $3.62M, and AXRP at $3.21M.
- Trading volume across major European exchanges fell substantially, totaling approximately $87.5M in December, a significant decrease of 39.8% compared to November’s $145.3M. Overall, more than $35B have been traded in 2025 across Crypto ETPs on European Exchanges, up 17% since 2024, with 21shares consolidating as the most traded issuer. Xetra continues its dominance as the largest venue for Crypto ETPs, recording $53.5M in average daily turnover. Euronext Paris recorded the most significant drop, with its ADV falling to $5.3M, a decrease of 53.1% MoM. This decline is attributed to December’s holiday trading conditions with wider spreads and thinner liquidity.
- 21shares has managed to maintain its strong position on major exchanges, with leading market shares on SIX Swiss Exchange and Euronext Paris, with London Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam not far behind.
- The AUM for Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US fell to $118.8B in December, sliding 5.2% MoM as BTC dipped ~ 4%. Spot BTC ETFs averaged over $3.8B traded daily during December, down ~ 31% MoM. Spot Ethereum ETFs finished with $20.1B in AUM, down 5.6% and primarily attributed to almost $300M in net outflows and a 1.5% drop in ETH’s price.
- December extended November’s momentum with more spot ‘ 33 Act launches, including a new XRP ETF from 21shares (TOXR) and a new Solana ETF from Invesco/Galaxy (QSOL), broadening access and competition in the altcoin ETF space. The month also saw first-time products for previously unavailable assets in a ‘ 40 act structure like Sui (TXXS).
- Overall, Crypto ETFs recorded net inflows for a total of $74.3M, marking December as a reversal from November’s - $3.2B NNA.
